Pet care experience

Friendly home-from-home pet sitters

Hi! We’re Matt and Sophie, and if you’re looking for somewhere your pet will truly feel at home, hopefully we’re your people! We’ve got two of our own — Jack, our 19-year-old cat who’s been part of the family for years, and Milo, our 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who brings plenty of energy and silliness to our days. We also have a 15-month-old little boy, so it’s fair to say our house is never quiet! But it’s a really warm, happy home and our animals are absolutely at the heart of it. Matt works from home, so your pet will have company throughout the day rather than being left on their own — which we know makes a huge difference. We’ve both grown up around animals our whole lives and genuinely love caring for them. We know how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so we always make sure to send plenty of photos and videos to keep you updated while you’re away. Every pet is different, and we’re happy to work around whatever your pet needs — whether that’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a quiet lap to sleep on. Feel free to get in touch — we’d love to hear about your pet! Matt and Sophie 🐾

Matt and his partner came over to do a meet and greet prior to our booking which was a great way to tell them everything about the boys and get to know them. We really appreciated this extra step! Matt provided some fantastic pictures and kept us regularly updated whilst we were away and we came home to two very happy cats! He accommodated our booking on very short notice too which was extremely helpful :) I would be more than happy to recommend Matt and will be in touch in the future for further bookings!

Matt looked after my two cats and was brilliant. Really reliable, kept me updated, & I felt at ease knowing they were being looked after properly. He’s also helped me out walking my dog a few times, which has been a massive help. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy with their pets!

I can’t recommend Matt enough as a pet sitter! He has looked after both my dog and cats multiple times and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in his care. He’s reliable, trustworthy and genuinely loves animals. My pets were well looked after and happy. He took the time to understand their little personalities and treated them as if they were his own. I’d recommend him to anyone!

Matt and Sophie looked after my cat George while I was away and did a great job. They popped in twice a day and kept me updated with photos and messages, which was really reassuring. Good communication throughout, and I’d happily recommend them.
